Come on guys get to work, would any other bussiness put up with this-
Think of the sponsers that are on here.

There's probably not much money in running this site, usually a labor of love.
Every image, and the transferal of that image from the location that hosts the site to your computer is storage and data transfer. This all costs money. Think of it in terms of data plans on smartphones, more data = more money.

I was surprised that this site allowed us to upload photos to the site for hosting, big sites don't.
Every little pic of a bike, accessory, etc adds up. Every time someone views a page that is transfer. Every time someone replies with quote and doesn't delete the images the site operators pay for that storage and transfer.

You'll have to learn how to use a 3rd party site to host your photos. Yes, photobucket has gone nuts, but there are others.
If the site was limited to text only it could be hosted on a home server. Trying to handle all of the photos and thousands of views is a commitment level that requires money.

If this is a pain then just wait til you try to find something better. I haven't looked too deeply into the other F6B sites but the fact is you're gonna have to pay one way or another - either with your time using image hosting sites or by using a site that has tons of ads or (ugh) some group on Farcebook.

If you look around you may even find browser extensions that make the process of uploading photos to hosting site easier.
Post what browser you use and let's see if we can get something going for you!

I use Googl chrome, I relize its alabor of love for this site to exsist,I would love some help from those that are more smart about this here stuff.

Any suggestion what a guy can do

Here's a browser add-on that I think will allow you to easily post to imgur hosting service.
After you upload your photos they will have links that you'll copy and paste in the text box that pops up when you click the icon of a picture frame up above the text area in your response to posts. It's to the left of the film strip icon. I need an extension to prevent my run on sentences!

There may be others, this will just get your feet wet.

Testing out new site for posting pics. imgur.com

That is nice, the picture quality, the location scenery and the bike. Now if we can refrain from posting an answer with the picture reposted we might reduce our bandwidth required which only puts the same picture up again.

We are all just a bit beyond "mildly frustrated."

I could say something to the effect of "Well, whadya expect from a 'free' forum?" but that's not how I roll.
As a retired Marine, I analyze the situation, then quickly adapt and overcome any shortcomings.

To quote from "Raiders of the Lost Ark":
"We have top men working on it....TOP men."

All y'all have a great day.
I'm going to to go teach some eager students how to ride a motorcycle.
Cheers,

I'm relatively new to the forum, but just wanted to say thanks for all the hours logged on behalf of keeping it up.

So many forum members trying, wishing, hoping they can post pictures. Maybe we will get a Christmas present?

I haven't heard that expression before. What does it mean?
